MaskUserTrigtosamp

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The MASK:USER:TRIGTOSAMP command.

Description
  • This command specifies the nominal time, in seconds, from the (leading edge) trigger position to the pulse bit sampling position, to be used for testing with a user-defined custom mask. A series of examples showing how to use mask commands for typical tasks is included in an appendix.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the MASK:USER:TRIGTOSAMP? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the MASK:USER:TRIGTOSAMP? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the MASK:USER:TRIGTOSAMP value command.
SCPI Syntax
- MASK:USER:TRIGTOSAMP <NR3>
- MASK:USER:TRIGTOSAMP?
Info
  • <NR3> is a floating point number that sets the time to the pulse bit sampling position.

MaskUserVoffset

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The MASK:USER:VOFFSet command.

Description
  • This command specifies the nominal value, in volts, to be used to vertically offset the input channels for a user-defined custom mask. A series of examples showing how to use mask commands for typical tasks is included in an appendix.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the MASK:USER:VOFFSet? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the MASK:USER:VOFFSet? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the MASK:USER:VOFFSet value command.
SCPI Syntax
- MASK:USER:VOFFSet <NR3>
- MASK:USER:VOFFSet?
Info
  • <NR3> is a floating point number that sets the nominal vertical offset value, in volts.

MaskUserVpos

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The MASK:USER:VPOS command.

Description
  • This command specifies the nominal value, in divisions, to be used to vertically position the input channels for a user-defined custom mask. A series of examples showing how to use mask commands for typical tasks is included in an appendix.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the MASK:USER:VPOS? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the MASK:USER:VPOS? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the MASK:USER:VPOS value command.
SCPI Syntax
- MASK:USER:VPOS <NR3>
- MASK:USER:VPOS?
Info
  • <NR3> is a floating point number that sets the nominal vertical position value in divisions.

MaskUserVscale

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The MASK:USER:VSCAle command.

Description
  • This command specifies the nominal value, in volts per division, to be used to vertically scale the input channels for a user-defined custom mask. A series of examples showing how to use mask commands for typical tasks is included in an appendix.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the MASK:USER:VSCAle? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the MASK:USER:VSCAle? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the MASK:USER:VSCAle value command.
SCPI Syntax
- MASK:USER:VSCAle <NR3>
- MASK:USER:VSCAle?
Info
  • <NR3> is a floating point number that sets the nominal vertical scale value for the input channels for a user-defined custom mask.

MaskUserWidth

Bases: SCPICmdWrite, SCPICmdRead

The MASK:USER:WIDth command.

Description
  • This command specifies the nominal bit width value, in seconds, to be used for a user-defined custom mask. This is the time of one bit of data where bit width = 1 / (data rate of the signal). A series of examples showing how to use mask commands for typical tasks is included in an appendix.
Usage
  • Using the .query() method will send the MASK:USER:WIDth? query.
  • Using the .verify(value) method will send the MASK:USER:WIDth? query and raise an AssertionError if the returned value does not match value.
  • Using the .write(value) method will send the MASK:USER:WIDth value command.
SCPI Syntax
- MASK:USER:WIDth <NR3>
- MASK:USER:WIDth?
Info
  • <NR3> is a floating point number that indicates the nominal bit width value in seconds.
